"Raeburn" by Sir J. L. Caw is a biography written during the early 20th century that explores the life and artistic contributions of the Scottish painter Sir Henry Raeburn, who lived from 1756 to 1823. This book delves into his development as an artist, his unique style of portraiture, and his lasting impact on British painting, particularly during a time when Scottish art was emerging as a notable force. The biography outlines Raeburn's rise from modest beginnings to being one of Scotland's most celebrated portrait painters. It chronicles his influences, early artistic struggles, and significant milestones, including his travels to Italy, where he honed his craft. Caw emphasizes Raeburn's ability to capture character and his distinct brushwork that conveyed a sense of life and individuality in his subjects. The book also discusses the challenges he faced, including a financial crisis later in life, while celebrating his accolades, including his election as a member of the Royal Academy and his knighthood. Ultimately, "Raeburn" not only commemorates the artist's technical abilities and artistic prowess but also encapsulates the essence of Scottish portrait painting in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
